Relational Coaching
I Love You From Over Here
Tools for staying connected when a relationship requires serious boundaries.
Sometimes the choice isn’t simply between putting up with a relationship that harms you or cutting the person out completely.
You may love someone and still need a safe and considerable distance. You may want a relationship with a family member, friend, or other important person—but not the painfully imbalanced dynamic you’ve had.
I Love You From Over Here is a short-term coaching process for navigating those complicated spaces: how to create meaningful boundaries without necessarily creating complete disconnection.
We’ll work on practical ways to decide how much awareness you can invite the other person, how much you can’t, how much contact feels possible, and how to stay grounded and self-preserving when they don’t respond the way you hope.
Because sometimes loving someone means getting closer, and sometimes it means finding the right distance from which you can still say, “I’m here, when you’re ready.”
Package of 3 or 6
60-minute sessions
If you are not ready or able to commit to weekly psychotherapy, I offer short-term relational coaching, focused on two main themes:
Take Space to Make Space
Tools for showing up more fully in your relationships—and inviting other people to do the same.
We all have moments when we hold ourselves back: we don’t say what we mean, avoid the difficult conversation, make ourselves smaller, or wait for someone else to make the first move.
Take Space to Make Space is a short-term coaching process for practicing something different.
We’ll work with practical tools for taking up space without taking over, setting boundaries without shutting people out, stepping into difficult conversations, and creating more room for yourself and the people around you.
The goal isn’t to control what other people do.
It’s to clarify and act on what you bring to the scene, while inviting the other person/ people to do the same. And to see what becomes possible from there.
Clients who complete the coaching packages are welcome to continue in weekly therapy, if you choose.
